OIC’s latest annual report available
OIC’s 2024-25 Annual Report has been tabled in Parliament by the Justice, Integrity and Community Safety Committee.
The report contains an overview of OIC’s work and performance for the past 12 months (ending on 30 June 2025).
During that time, a major focus was preparing agencies for significant privacy and RTI reforms, most of which commenced under the Information Privacy and Other Legislation Act (IPOLA) from 1 July 2025.
OIC provided guidelines, practical resources and a program of training on the reforms, which include Queensland’s new Mandatory Notification of Data Breach scheme, amended privacy principles and the streamlining of processes to access or amend information.
OIC also tabled five regulatory audits in Parliament, undertook external reviews of RTI applications, mediated privacy complaints, delivered key events to support Privacy Awareness Week and International Access to Information Day, and continued to deliver trusted information, advice and guidance to agencies and the community.
Internally, OIC reviewed its workplace capability requirements and restructured to optimise resources and meet increasing demand for our services across Queensland.
In addition, OIC rolled out an enterprise information technology platform to enhance efficiency and data insights, and developed a new strategic plan to guide our future direction.
Information Commissioner, Joanne Kummrow, said OIC remained committed to supporting public sector agencies as they adapted to the IPOLA reforms and advocating for a culture that is committed to open government and protecting privacy.
“We are proud of our achievements in 2024-25 and grateful for the opportunity to reflect on them through this annual report,” Ms Kummrow said.
“As we embark on a new financial year, we remain committed to serving the Queensland community and working with the public sector.”
